It's been a little while.
Actually, I'm currently busy preparing for YAMATO FILM FESTIVAL 2025, which takes place the day after tomorrow on Sunday, March 16.
This year's festival will screen a carefully selected lineup of short films chosen from many submissions across the country last year, presented all at once in one big showing.
We will show 12 films selected for the 15th Short Film Competition, two special works by last competition's winners, and, not to be outdone, several film directors who are also competition judges made one film each for this program.
That makes 15 films in total. They offer a variety of themes and flavors.
Admission is free. You can watch all 15 films at no charge. Anyone can drop by and watch, so it's a great deal, honestly.
I hope there will be at least one film you like or one that somehow lingers in your mind.
Now, for publicity we created posters, flyers, and a visitor pamphlet. This time we deliberately unified their concept color.
In spring they put down strong roots and delight with vivid color, and before you know it they turn into downy seeds that ride the wind and spread far and wide.
The dandelion, also called the dandelion, inspired a color that represents the small film's solid entertainment value, its strength rooted deeply so it will not be lost going forward, and its freedom to spread everywhere rather than stay in one place—things we wanted to value. Well, that's just what the person in charge happened to think.
After all, these are just amateur-made ads, but if one happens to catch someone's eye and makes them go "huh?", leading them to discover the world of short films they didn't know before, I would be extremely, extremely happy. I hope such a miracle happens.
We look forward to seeing many of you.
